How does the force of this compare with the TURBO MODE of the Hansgrohe 04071000 Croma E 100 3-Jet Showerhead? and the TURBO air injected Croma E100?

couldn't say as I don't have those to compare. Force is good, adequate massage pulses. Note, it is named "Raindance", not "Tsunami"

I don't have thos other two models, but I can tell you it seems like more water is sprayed out than a standard Kohler head, although they are both rated at 2.5gpm. A good complete spray. Before changing out an old head, I suggest removing your current head and cleaning the filter by the treads if it has one.

Pressure has two settings and I find the pressure to be pretty strong. Good enough to rinse a lot of shampoo out of long hair with no problem. BTW, my wife and I just love this shower head, it's made very well.

That really depends on the flow rates of your shower heads and the incoming water temperature. I am on a well with fairly cold input water and have fairly low flow Grohe Movario shower heads but I think two showers might be pressing it. I have two water heaters and one is an 80 gallon tank so my Stiebel 24 does not do all my showers. Other than that it has been in for just over two years and has been great!

I have had no issues at all. I have very long hair and what concerned me was the type of the shower head not having enough pressure to fully wash my hair without a big bother. I do like the Grohe. You are able to tilt the shower head a bit too.

We've been using this shower head for some time now and just installed a hybrid water heater and I don't see much difference at all in the pressure. Can't speak about the tankless type, though.

I can't answer the GPM but I can tell you the jets and shower can be ran at the same time. I want to stress to anyone buying this unit to make sure and understand the MAX pressure this unit can handle is 45 psi. That is incredibly low. If you have higher pressure the thermostatic valve will not work after about 5-10 minutes and the shower will get cold. No adjustment will change the temp. You have to shut off the valves and try again later. I was told to install ball valves to adjust the water pressure so it would work. At 45 psi using the jets and shower head together is worthless. The pressure is just too low. We built a new house and plumbed our custom tile shower for this unit and are now stuck with something that looks great but doesn't function as it should. I have had it on and off the wall replacing the valve, supply hoses, etc. I have spent hundreds to have my plumber come back to finish these things. I would look elsewhere if I were you. Maybe Hudson Reed? They have something similar that they say has a much higher PSI tolerance and can use the jets/shower head together. I'm actually leaning towards model UFG-ML711 as I think it will cover the same holes and plumbing as the Vigo

This is the most awesome shower head we've ever had! There are 4 settings depending on your mood. I mostly use the strong flat flow but everyone in the family has their own preference.

Specific for hansgrohe diverter part; I believe we only used for 2 option situations (shower/hand shower or shower/tub)

This thing is fantastic. I believe it is the amount of pressure to push the spring inside the housing open for a full flow of water. I used this on my sprinkler system from a rain harvest tank. The first pump I had didn't have enough pressure to open the valve all the way for good flow. Went with a bigger pump and all was well. Hope that helped

I am using it as my main shower head. I removed the pipe that connected the old shower head to the water delivery pipe. I think the force of the water is strong.

Yes, the built in shower head and the jets will run at same time, but in lower pressure. The seperate shower head cant run at same time.

It hooks up yo the sower head so being a tub or shower isn't a difference. You control the direction and there is a on off button so it's not constantly on. And the water pressure isn't important because I only use half my water potential. hope this helps

I had a concern about this too prior to purchasing, but have been extremely pleased with everything about it, including the pressure. I would think if you have adequate water pressure where this is to be installed, it will work fine for you. The head is designed with two settings. Of course the setting that concentrates the flow to the center of the head naturally provides more pressure. When you change the setting to dispense from the entire head, the flow is much more gentle - like a rain shower. I use the more centralized setting to wash my hair and the rain shower setting for the remainder of my shower. Perfect. By far the best shower head I've ever had.

It's hard to say but I felt this shower head only improved my water pressure. Just make sure you get the extension bar that's "frequently purchased with" or you will be showering up against the wall.

No problem with the pull-down for the sprayhead. Real problem was the failure in the spray head itself, which Kohler replaced for me. The valve buttons (both) failed to work, thus limiting the flow volume and also preventing easy shut off of the flow using the upper button. I wil be installing the new sprayhead and we'll see what happens. Kohler's response to the problem was very good, with the replacement, no questions asked and shipped right away.

My sentiments exactly. It is not as strong as my older Dimension One spa which had two jet pumps. Also, it is not as deep. However, I don't use the high speed that often, enjoy the quiet although it is not possible to turn it off completely. I took the pillows off and filled it all the way to the attachment holes and it is much more comfortable at neck level . . . for $3,000, it was a chance taken and compared to the market, it is a decent value. I like the fact that there is not much that can go wrong with it and the components are all plug-n-play. Should they ever need to be replaced I can do it myself. If you use the stick sanitizer, just put it in the skimmer or the end of the stick will get sucked down the pipe -- I had to take out the motor in order to retrieve it from up against the impeller . . . just saying. I agree with the other two comments that 220v is more efficient. It heats really fast and perhaps you do get a bit more out of the motor. 6hp is merely a label. Everything else is dependent on the spa engineering.

The Kohler Forte is the best fixed shower head I have ever used. It is not a rain shower head in the traditional sense since it doesn't flow straight down. With the right amount of water pressure, you can rinse your razor, wash your dishes, etc. with this shower head.
